In the remote location, Internet connectivity and bandwidth were a challenge. That challenge was met by tying into an existing network that had been installed earlier at a nearby lodge owned by the same family. The ability to connect with that existing network infrastructure allowed for enough bandwidth to achieve the goals of the project.
